Payments

How are payments made in RevNet?

For Stamp Duty, Opinions and Certificate users:

Payments are debited from a nominated bank account.

As part of the application process, Electronic Payment Authorisation Forms are completed for each bank account you wish to use for making payments via RevNet. Several bank accounts can be nominated for this purpose. Bank account details are held in a secure environment within RevenueSA's internal database and are not transferred across the Internet.

The electronic payment is initiated by a user within RevNet. RevenueSA cannot independently access your bank accounts, only payments initiated by the user will occur. The user has the ability to select the appropriate, pre-nominated account they wish to use to make a payment in RevNet.

Payroll Tax:

Electronic Payment Authorisation (PRT EPA)

This facility allows your nominated administrator(s) or User’s to log into RevNet and enter your return for each period. You enter your wage details or the payroll tax amount and authorise the payment from your nominated bank account. RevenueSA does not independently access a taxpayer’s bank account. This facility ensures that your tax is allocated to your account correctly each month thereby avoiding non-payment penalties and/or interest for incorrect allocation.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

This facility allows your nominated Administrator(s) to log into RevNet to complete an expected payroll tax EFT return each period. This will then generate a unique EFT Payment Advice for that period containing the BSB, Account Number and Payment Reference Number. Once an EFT Payment Advice is generated you will be able to use the details to make payment via EFT with your financial institution.

How will payments be shown on my bank statement?
